It is humanly impossible to remain free of unforgiveness, or
free of hatred when you’ve been through violent injustice. Resentment,
bitterness and vengeance are the response that is understandable, acceptable,
and even encouraged by many around us. That is the way of our spiritual enemy.
He wants us to feel justified in having resentment and bitterness toward those
who have wronged us. That is our human flesh.
It naturally follows the leader of the fallen world. God is saying there is a
way out. God is saying He will bring complete deliverance from these fleshly
responses. He will sever us from the grasp of the evil one. He has paid the
price. It is time.
You have suffered too long. God is responding out of His
great love for you. He is coming after you to lift up your heart. He will turn
your heart away from the hate. It seems impossible but it is not. You have
suffered long in this trial, but Jesus has suffered long with you. He’s been
right there. He wants to relieve your pain. Come to Him with these horrible
painful hateful feelings. Come to Him with the shame and guilt for angry
actions. Come to him with sorrow and loss. Come to him with the unforgiveness. You
have felt justified in the unforgiveness, but it is weighing you down and
causing you more pain. The unforgiveness and vengeful thoughts are from Satan,
who wants to keep you in pain and anger. He wants to keep piling it on. The
warfare is not against flesh and blood. The fight in the spiritual realm is not
even against those who hurt you. He or she is a mere puppet of the enemy.
It is time to bring all to Jesus. He will take each heaviness
and each pain…each terrible memory.
God’s plan is unfolding now. His timeline is to move
on. God’s intent is to lift you up
into the spirit realm with Him above the hate and pain. Surrender and thanksgiving
are the doorway. As you enter in you will become free; free of all this stuff
you’ve been carrying. The enemy wants you to believe that you can’t possibly
get free of the pain and the stress, the hate. You can be free. God’s heart is
for you to be free. He is not condemning you.
God may even have songs for you to sing. Lift up a shout of
victory. The freedom will be seen by
many. It cannot be hidden.
Go for it.
Stand and see the
salvation of the Lord who is with you.
